RTS521 Holden Colorado RC Space Cab - Rhino Track Mount ...
RTS521 Holden Colorado RC Space Cab - Rhino Track Mount. Holden Rodeo RA Space Cab - Rhino Track Mount. Important:
Please read these instructions carefully prior to installation. Please refer to your fitting instruction to ensure that the cross bars are installed in the correct locations. Check the contents of kit before commencing fitment and report any discrepancies. Place these instructions in the vehicle’s glove box after installation is complete.
Maximum carrying capacity: 50kg. Layout
Care Instruction: Wash and clean vehicle roof prior to fitting the tracks and cross bar.
Important Information Maximum carrying capacity: 50kg. Recommendations: It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your cross bars. Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (probably once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the cross bars each time they are re-fitted. Make sure to fasten your load securely. Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps. Sensitivity to cross winds, behaviour in curves and braking. The handling characteristics of the vehicle, changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety reasons, we recommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resisting loads; special consideration must be taken into account when braking. Please remove cross bars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash. Load Ratings: Maximum permissible load is 50kg per cross bar (include the weight of the cross bar, 5kg). When cross bars are to be used in offroad conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit. 34kg for off-road use. Although the cross bars are tested and approved to AS1235-2000, Australian road conditions can be much more rigorous. However, increasing the number of cross bars does not increase the vehicles maximum permissible roof loading. Note for Dealers and Fitters: It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.

Remove rubber strip. a. Use a knife to cut the rubber strip level with the edges of the remaining roof trim. Pull rubber strip out of the roof channel. b. The grey sticky foam left behind must be fully scraped off before the tracks can be installed. Use a plastic scraper and non petroleum solvent such as Cleansol to help remove. The roof channel must be totally clean before proceeding any further.

Drill through. Remove the track. Marked holes can now be drilled through the roof skin using a 5mm drill bit. A DRILL STOP MUST BE USED to avoid penetrating the inside hood lining.
Drill Stop 4-7mm.
8
Vacuum swarf. Swarf must be vacuumed from roof to avoid rust spots and scratching. Carefully wipe with a clean rag to remove any excess. DO NOT USE AN AIR GUN to blow swarf as it will get trapped under the remaining roof trim.

11 Fasten Track.
Accurately place the track over the drilled holes in the roof channel using the rivets to position. Make sure track orientation is correct, (refer to step 4). Place the metal track end tabs at the end of each track. Secure end tab with rivet. Using either a pneumatic or concertina type rivet gun, rivet the track into place. Push down with pressure while popping rivets to make sure they are all firmly seated onto the base of the track.
